the pics do no justice. see the V2 on a Z in person and your jaw might drop. maybe not, but it does get a lot of praise from everyone that get's to see it in person.

hey didnt you say there are little bumps to show you were to drill.


i talked with my body shop today. i brought them pictures of the bumper. actually yours unpaited and they said it shouldnt be a problem to match it up. they are easy to work with so im glad i have a good body shop. that was the main thing i was dreading when thinking about getting this bumper is it matching but i think it will turn out good


i cant wait!
cool!

the authentic nismo has little cirlces embossed on the bumper to show the mounting points. for those that don't want the canards mounted, they would just have to lightly sand the circles down. the nismo bumper also came with a paper cut-out to line it up on the bumper to also show the exact mounting points. i can't remember what those paper cut-out things are called.

my paint was "blended" to connecting body parts. i suggest you get the bumper color blended to the fenders and hood for the "perfect" match. it shouldn't cost that much more.

Can anyone verify that the stock undertray mates with the holes in the bottom of the NISMO V2 in earlier than 2006 models? I have been told it does, but has anyone tried it? Thank you.

The more I see the Nismo rims, the more I cant justify paying that much for them! They look decent, but to average for me taste, I think the '06 tracks look more aggresive! Sorry for the superlate comments, but I just saw your updated pics.

exactly. i didn't want to go to crazy with wheels. my other choices were actually the '06 track wheels or Top Secret TE37's. eventhough i like the wheels, the 06 track rays didn't go well with the bodykit and everybody, even other car models, sport the te37. also, i decided i wanted to go 5 spoke. so i went with nismo. i know they are pricey, but don't have the pricey look. that's fine with me. all i wanted was forged, lightweight, 5 spoke, rays, and 19".

i still want aggressive offset lmgt4's for the rear. someday i will find them in the US.

That car is one of a very limited number of JDM-only Nismo Fairlady Z S-tune GTs. (IIRC, only 20 or so were built by Nismo). The bodies were strictly limited, and were a total package only with the engine and suspension mods. Having said that, I know where a specially imported , Nismo GT S-tune front nose kit is here in the US. It was imported for a US customer as a special favor from Nismo, but it has never been installed on a Z. I am continuing to negotiate with the intended recipient for a swap....
